Steve Borthwick faces a selection dilemma as England prepare for the upcoming Nations Championship matches, with the team having only nine fixtures left before the World Cup begins.
The autumn campaign will give Borthwick an opportunity to assess his options as England move closer to the global tournament. The remaining matches mean decisions over the squad and team are becoming increasingly important.
The Nations Championship fixtures will therefore form part of England’s preparation for the World Cup. They are expected to help shape the direction of the side during the limited number of games still available before the tournament.
No individual players or specific selection choices are identified in the available material. The immediate focus is on how Borthwick will use the forthcoming matches as England’s World Cup preparations continue, with nine games remaining before the tournament.
